JANUARY FOCUS: 

Celine Elliott, Cornwall Museum Partnership Engagement Lead, will be talking to the network about collaborative working. This meeting will give participants the opportunity to bring projects or potential ideas and share thoughts about how we could work together. It's a bit of an experiment, but a good way to start the new year; sparking new connections and igniting ideas.

With over a decades experience working with community groups and young people on creative projects, Celine’s practice combines an education from Manchester School of Arts (Interactive Arts) with an MA from Newcastle University in Art Museum and Gallery Studies. Celine is a brilliant speaker and artist, and through her work for Cornwall Museum Partnership she works with groups and organisations to sensitively empower exciting and meaningful collaborations.
